Glad to announce I will be joining the Department of Medicine II in Mannheim as a junior group leader in January 2023! This is finally a dream come true, the child in me who wished to be a scientist feels very satisfied. I am extremely grateful to all my previous mentors.
Chronic stress does more than affect mood—it may accelerate biological aging. Persistent glucocorticoid exposure disrupts autophagy, mitochondrial function, and immune resilience, promoting many hallmarks of aging linked to sarcopenia, neurodegeneration, metabolic disease, and frailty. #Aging #StressBiology #Longevity

Excited to share our new study using engineered immune proteins to quench inflammation in aged brains!!
Congratulations to @Paloma_Negredo and team!
Fantastic collaboration with several labs - Chris Garcia's lab, @rsaxton_, @theRafLab, @wysscoray, and @VilledaLab!
Linus Pauling is the only person to have received two unshared Nobel Prizes - in chemistry and peace.
He used quantum mechanics to understand and describe chemical bonding. Later he campaigned vehemently against nuclear weapons and spearheaded a petition to ban nuclear testing.

It has been two years, I have been waiting to make this post. The first demonstration that we can uncouple regeneration from tumorigenesis. This is a paradigm shifting discovery. I am proud to call @SrustidharD a colleague, collaborator and friend. Congratulations 👏 🎉
Do you wonder if #regeneration and #tumorigenesis are always linked, or can they be uncoupled to maintain tissue homeostasis? 🤔
Excited to share our latest work published in @Nature, where we explore this fundamental question in the #gut!

Perfect picture: a growing lab, a distracted PI watching his dog, lots of banter, laughter. Just like the gut we are more than the sum of our parts. Congratulations to MSc. Jorge Andres for this achievement! Proud of these fantastic people to put up with their nutty PI!
